“Hazyl and Timmy were SO well taken care of! Alex sent daily pictures which I loved. Our house was super clean and our furry animals were happy. We’ve already booked Alex for two more trips we have planned.”

“Deanna really did a great job with my 2 big dogs! She handled everything professionally and friendly, she took awesome pictures of my dogs and sent updates daily. It was nice knowing my dogs were at home in their normal routine, and they definitely really liked her. I think they were looking around outside for her when we got back after 8 days haha! I would definitely recommend Deanna”

“Thank you Sadie! I could really tell she gave my dog attention and love while I was away. She also sent pictures and updates the whole time. I really loved the communication we had. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: !! MY PRICES ARE SLIDING SCALE FOR PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOME!! (just message me) I love dogs and all animals, if you have more pets along with your dog I'll happily care for them also! I can care for special needs animals, and accommodate for animals with allergies. I'm very easy to contact and I'll send you frequent updates and pictures of your pets while I'm caring for them! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'll do an initial meeting in your home to make sure your dog(s) are comfortable with me in their territory, and we'll discuss all your pets needs while I socialize with them! I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.

“Celia took great care of our dog in our home while we were away for a week. We got regular photo updates and our dog seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home! Thanks Celia!”

About: I love all animals big and small. I've grown up with many animals in my life and anything I can do to help other pet owners,I'm excited and willing. I'm good at following instructions and can provide personalized care for your pets needs :) I’m currently caring for pets full-time, so I have flexible availability to provide attentive, dedicated care whenever your pets need it. They’ll get my full attention, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I currently have one dog and one cat so I prefer taking care of your pets in your home, I will follow all instructions left and am willing to send updates as requested, I believe I'm trustworthy and will provide the best care for any animal.

About: Hello! My name is Rachel and I am a biologist and lover of all animals. I grew up taking care of a number of pets, including many dogs and have been employed as a veterinary technician in the past. I foster dogs on and off from our local shelters. I am knowledgeable and compassionate in the care of pets and look forward to meeting yours! I am currently working part time and am available weekends and some weekdays for potty breaks, dog walking, or house sitting! I am active and would love to have some furry company on my walks. I am open to watching dogs at my home if they are friendly with other dogs. I have a young heeler who loves making new doggie friends! I also can watch pets at your house and/or take the dogs for outings! I have my own car with plenty of space for transporting.

“Melanie instantly fell in love with both of our dogs. Walter, one of our dogs, is a reluctant eater, and Melanie was determined to help him with that. She sent us a video of her hand feeding him. They both clearly enjoyed the process. She is extraordinarily good about staying in touch with what's happening, and we appreciated the updates and photos of our happy dogs while we were away. Melanie is exceptionally fine-tuned to this work, and we will always choose her for our dogs. She did such a great job that we included a large tip.”

“Ember is excellent as a house and pet sitter. She was very respectful of my home, and my cat Cassie just loved her. She really took a lot of worry off my shoulders while I was travelling. I highly recommend her services, and I will hire her again for future travel.”

“Zalie was fantastic, such great communication and lots of updates and pictures - she followed all our instructions perfectly and took great care of our high maintenance dog and our house.”

About: I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, and my boyfriend who I live with has had dogs his whole life. We love dogs of all size and ages and hope to adopt more in the future. Our schedules line up to where someone would be home with your pup 95% of the time! We offer daily walks and adventures if that’s what your pup needs as well, and lots of toys of course. We have a large fenced yard that your pup can play and run around in. We have a dog as well that they can play with outside or inside. We have crate that your pup can use if that’s what they need.

“Stella was great! It's not very often that we like to leave our pup behind while we travel but when we do we know we can trust Stella! She kept us in the loop with updates and pictures! Our anxious pup felt right at home with Stella!”

About: I have worked and volunteered in animal care my entire life! I was a Senior Animal Care Lead at an animal rescue where my duties were to be directly in charge of 30+ dogs and cats. I have worked with every kind of pet scenario in many different environments, including: Senior animals, Special-needs pets, Behavioral cases, Medical Emergencies, and many more! If you need a reliable and experienced pet sitter, I am the guy for the job! I currently have a completely open schedule! I've just moved to Arcata from central California and I'm looking to work with pets on the side for some extra money. Making sure your pets are comfortable and safe is my number one priority. I can work with whatever your pet's routine may be whether that is play time, walks, potty breaks, feeding, crate time, etc.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats, young and old, easy and "difficult". I am very adept at walking and caring for reactive dogs who can have a hard time with other dogs and/or humans, and do my best to avoid any situations that can trigger reactive behaviors. I'm also happy to help keep up any training routines, I'm pretty proficient in general dog training, but I know it always comes down to the individual dogs for what works best. I often have people remark about their pets who usually don't warm up to new people immediately taking a liking to me! I'm also totally respectful of animals who do need time to get to know new people and always meet them where they're at, so more than welcome to accommodate those who need more introduction time. I've had dogs in the family my whole life, and have lived with many cats as roommates, and I've loved them all. I've done extensive house sitting everywhere from big cities to rural areas, for periods of time as long as two months, caring for animals as well as the house and surrounding property. My schedule is very flexible so I can make sure I have plenty of time to give my full attention to your animal friends, I live in a sweet quiet neighborhood in Arcata near the bottoms that's great for regular walks, and I have a car and am happy to take pups out on more special adventures too! I always check in about what's best for each dog, and can tailor care around what their usual schedule is with walks and feeding, what kinds of play they like best, and any training routines I can help reinforce during our time together. I make sure to take extra care with reactive dogs and avoid any situations that may trigger them as best as possible.

About: With years of hands on experience working and volunteering at animal shelters since high school, I bring a deep understanding of pet care and behavior to every sitting experience. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, which has given me the skills to adapt to the unique needs of every pet. Currently, I share my home with Sally, a 5-year-old Domestic Short Hair tabby who I adopted a few months ago. She is the light of my life and reminds me daily of the importance of love, patience, and attentive care when it comes to our furry companions. Special Skills • Shelter Experience: Years of volunteer and work experience in shelters have equipped me to handle animals with diverse backgrounds and needs, from shy rescues to high-energy pets. • Multi-Species Expertise: Having cared for a variety of pets, I am comfortable with dogs, cats, and more exotic companions. • Behavioral Insight: Skilled in understanding and managing pet behaviors, including those of rescues or pets with anxiety. • Personalized Care: I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and make it my priority to ensure they feel loved and secure. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, providing the same love and attention I give to my dear Sally. With me, your pet will receive exceptional care and companionship. I am currently a very recent college graduate student who has full availability on the weekends and weekday availability depending on the time(s) requested. My schedule currently consist of work 5 days a week (any changes in my schedule will be noted). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I respect their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I ensure your home remains tidy and secure during my visits and keep you updated with regular messages or photos to provide peace of mind. Whether it’s spending extra time playing with an energetic pet or offering a calm, reassuring presence for a shy one, I adapt my approach to suit their personality and preferences.

“Kade took great care of my cat and my house while I was traveling. Everything looked great and my cat didn’t seemed phased by my absence. Great communicator as well!”

About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, including horses, dogs, and cats. Most of my experience is from owning pets and taking care of my neighbors elderly dog, and their granddaughters two French bulldogs. I am currently home for summer and have a completely open schedule, I am planning on getting a part time job within the coming weeks, and will adjust my schedule accordingly. I have house sat for many elderly people from my community, along with taking care of neighbors larger property. I have also trained four dogs of my own, and have experience helping other family members training their pets.

“Heather was nothing short of amazing with our three fur babies. We got regular pictures of them, she was so respectful of our home, and even left us a gift-dog paw ornaments! I could not be happier with her, and she is absolutely our first call the next time we need a sitter. So grateful to have found her.”
